premessa al disegnare

(translation of illustration)

if you want to become an architect, you have to learn how to draw freehand...
the computer is a useful tool ... you can use it when you finally understood what you want to do... (this is when the project in itself is concluded).

perhaps something needs to be said regarding the myths sourrounding the computer you just bought. as you know, it's made of two parts -
1° the powerful and misterious 'HARD' and 
2° the 'SOFT' ... instructions sold to the oblivious who think they are able to create form by ignoring the concrete reasons behind it.

HOWEVER, there is another type of computer which is a thousands time more efficient... at no cost, you already have one and it's still new as you don't imagine to own it.

1° the infinitely powerful 'HARD'. 
in fact it's so powerful that a newborn baby (who still hasn't worked out space, sound, it's own limbs... in just 1 year will have understood it, and on its own). 
HARD turns it into a concious beeing through acts of interpreting each random movement or sensation.

2° there is no 'SOFT'. you've lost it at age of 6. at school...... but you can rediscover it ... 
it's knowledge that comes from personal practise, the only possibility of real comprehension.
